Firewater Friday . . . Don't be a dork

The question is why? Why, for the love of heaven, why?? It . . . it’s hideous, sloppy and downright dorkifying So why do people . . . i.e. men . . . wear this abominable combination?

“My feet are cold”, some may whine. Then put some damned shoes on! It’s a no brainer! Sandals are meant to be worn in warm weather . . . that means you wear them so your feet stay cool. I’m not sure how this concept escapes men.

Yes, it’s true that archaeological proof has been discovered that Romans most likely wore socks with their sandals. If that sets a historical precedent then there’s one for wearing loin cloths, a bone through your nose and tights. That might actually be the ultimate outfit! For the Lord God King of Geeks or something!

The point is. it's never okay to wear socks with sandals . . . ever! Come to think of it, most men have nasty feet, stinky toes and gnarly toenails. How about just not wearing sandals (or flip flops), period. Yeah, that works for me. Make it so! Crisis averted.
